About the Item

An exceptionally rare pair of Triton candlesticks, in black basalt with gold lustre. The design is copied from Wedgwood, who took it from Sir William Chambers' study of Bernini's Triton Fountain, in the Piazza Barbarini. An unscrupulous dealer (not me) has had them fixed to early Wedgwood bases, in an attempt as passing them off. They are certainly by Palmer; but they do go sit well on the bases.
